... Question: I tuned in to see the Syfy 20th Anniversary Special the other evening and I was very pleasantly surprised to see you as one of the commentators. It is always good to see you on TV instead of just behind the scenes. It was a very good special, especially showing Farscape again. It sounds like the creative powers and the actors all would be happy to revisit this wonderful show again. I have wondered why we don't see the repeats of Farscape on the Syfy channel or some other network because I think once they would be shown, there would be a real resurgence of the fan base to see this show back in some way. I realize it is on DVD, but the existing episodes would get a broader audience if it were shown on a network. Anyway, again it was great to see you. — JG
Matt Roush: Thanks. It was great to be seen — and in case you missed the special, including its replays this Sunday, there's at least one more showing (1:30 am/12:30c on Wednesday). The Farscape and Battlestar Galactica segments were by far my favorite, reminding me how much I missed the humor of Crichton, Aeryn Sun and the others — although I admit that when I went to see the movie Argo recently, I couldn't help wanting to attach a "D'" to the title. That said, repeats of the show have never proven to be much of a ratings draw, which is why you don't see it currently in circulation — which isn't to say it will be kept on the shelf forever. And before anyone else asks, I've heard nothing about the long-proposed Farscape "webisodes," which appear to be stuck in some eternal development-hell limbo...
